Hey all, we think 30 Rock is the best live action sitcom of the 2000s, so we get into why with Chris, who's also a big fan. A show so prescient about free market desperation that that it successfully foretold Milf Manor, The Floor, Deal or No Deal Island (God Cop to follow, surely). Big themes are:

  • NBC as Legacy media
  • Feminism and intersectionality
  • Improv as comedy scaffolding
  • the show's politics
